Records
Preliminary remark:
In these years there was a dichotomy in terms of best performances and records. Hand-stopped and electronically determined services were performed side by side. The official times were usually given in tenths of a second, which were rounded if electronic measurements were available. Due to the elimination of the reaction time of the timekeeper with electronic timekeeping, the discussion was about introducing a so-called pre-set value in order not to automatically improve the hand-stopped performance. But the correct specification of these times remained, which were later also officially listed with hundredths of a second after the decimal point.

Record setting / improvement
European champion Jean-Claude Nallet equalized the existing EM record of 49.2 seconds at these European championships in the final on August 12th. Unofficially, he set a new electronically measured championship record with 49.15 s.
Note on the indication of personal bests and personal bests of the season
In the source used here on the homepage of the European Athletics Association (EAA) , a large number of services are provided with the reference to a personal best season ( SB ) or personal best ( PB ). This addition is not found in other sources. In the sprint competitions, it cannot be determined whether the EAA's information refers to the exact electronic values or to the official times rounded to tenths of a second, which in many cases makes a difference. In addition, these record comments on the EAA homepage are by no means always correct. For these reasons, this information is not included in the following summary of results.
